Description

From the New York Times bestselling author Liliana Hart comes Front Line Francis: The Scarlet Chronicles (Book 3), a heart-pounding WWII espionage thriller that follows the indomitable Scarlet Holmes into the crucible of war's final days.

In 1945, as the Allies close in on Nazi Germany, Scarlet Holmes, codenamed Front Line Francis, is a seasoned spy whose courage is matched only by her resolve. Haunted by the loss of her beloved husband, Pierre, Scarlet is summoned to London's SOE headquarters for a mission that could hasten the war's end. Over a hundred Allied soldiers, including Pierre, are prisoners in a Nazi camp in Kortrijk, Belgium, facing execution as the Third Reich's desperation grows. With her new call sign and a ragtag team of unlikely heroes—a Soviet pilot, a Polish sniper, a Filipino spy, and a pastor couple—Scarlet must infiltrate the heavily guarded Fort Liesl to liberate the captives before it's too late.

But when the mission takes a deadly turn and Scarlet discovers Pierre is alive, only to be transferred to the notorious Fort Breendock concentration camp, she defies orders to mount a rogue rescue. Teaming up with fierce female spies like Nancy and Esther, Scarlet orchestrates a daring nighttime assault, armed with explosives, parachutes, and unyielding determination. As betrayal looms and the Nazis unleash their final stand, Scarlet must confront her grief, outwit her enemies, and make a sacrifice that could change the course of the war—and her heart—forever.
